PHY 1104 - Introductory Physics I

Credits: 4
This is the first course in the two-semester, algebra-based, introductory physics sequence. Topics include: The fundamental ideas that govern kinematics and dynamic motion for both linear and rotational systems, equilibrium and elasticity, concepts of energy and momentum, and thermodynamics and fluids. The laboratory component of the course (PHY-1004) is aimed at developing data collection and analysis skills through a series of experiments in mechanics and thermodynamics. The laboratory must be enrolled in separately.
